Come into these arms againAnd lay your body downThe rhythm of this trembling heartIs beating like a drumIt beats for youIt bleeds for youIt knows not how it soundsFor it is the drum of drumsIt is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest roseThat ever deigned to bloomCruel winter chilled the budAnd stole my flower too soonOh loneliness, Oh hopelessnessTo search the ends of timeFor there is in all the world No greater love than mine

Let me be the only oneTo keep you from the coldNow the floor of heaven's laidWith stars of brightest goldThey shine for you, they shine for youThey burn for all to seeCome into these arms againAnd set this spirit free
